RIO’s Fathom Schnüre sind spezielle Sinkschnüre, die für die Fischerei im See entwickelt wurden. Die Schnur verfügt über eine kurze, schnell aufladende Keule, um die Anzahl der Leerwürfe zu minimieren und um schnell auf Distanz zu kommen. Die Running Line und die Keule haben verschiedene Farben. Zusätzlich ist ein spezieller “Hang Marker” angebracht. Das Density Compensated Coating sorgt für die perfekte Fliegenkontrolle.
These shooting heads are made of Tungsten instead of lead. This makes the lines supple, they do not kink and sink like a stone. Cut to the desired length and weight to meet existing fishing conditions and fly size. T-8 and T-11 are suitable for lines # 4-7, der T-14 for single handed rods # 8-10, T-17 for single handed rods # 11-14 and as sinking tip for two handed rods. T-20, without welded loops, is the heaviest material and fast sinking.

Soft, subtle takes become positive grabs, and without stretch to dull reaction times, hook sets are instant and sure. ConnectCore - The secret weapon for stillwater success.
Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
The perfect Line for roll and Single Handed Spey Casts with Low-stretch, Ultra-slick performance
The Single Handed Spey line has been designed to be a fantastic tool for anglers that prefer/need to perform roll and single-handed Spey casts. The rear weight distribution loads a rod deeply in the tightest of quarters, allowing anglers to make long, effortless casts with obstacles close behind. Though primarily designed for roll casting, this line also performs exceptionally easy overhead casts with incredibly smooth loop control. Each line is built on RIO's low stretch ConnectCore Plus for maximum performance, and features SlickCast— the slickest, most durable coating on the market.
There are 2 different density lines to cover every fishing situation:-A Full floating Line (F), for top water action-A floating Line with 10ft of Hover sinking line, then 10ft of intermediate sinking line at the front (F/H/I), for fishing in the top 2-4 ft

Max CastMaxCast is a ultra-sophisticated line coating, made with a groundbreaking proprietary formula. It redefines floating line performance. MaxCast lines float higher, shoot farther, last longer and stay cleaner.
AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the line’s coating. After years of experimentation RIO has developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable.
Connect Core PlusRIO’s ConnectCore full-sinking lines open up new worlds of perception and sensitivity with no-stretch performance. Soft, subtle takes become positive grabs, and without stretch to dull reaction times, hook sets are instant and sure. ConnectCore - The secret weapon for stillwater success.

RIO's Leviathan lines have been specifically designed for the largest of tropical species. Each line features a powerful front taper to cast the biggest of flies, a short, heavy head to load bluewater rods, and a hard, tropical coating to prevent the line from wilting in the heat. The line has a 26ft, fast-sinking head seamlessly integrated into an intermediate running line. In addition, a tough, ultra-strong core ensures the line will easily battle large fish being cut on coral and rock structures.

RIO’S CLEANSWEEP LINES are a series of sinking lines built with a clear intermediate front end, seamlessly attached to a faster sinking body section and then to a slower sinking running line. This blend of sink rates results in a deadly fly path through the water, with the line “sweeping” the depths during a retrieve - from the surface, to deep, and back to the surface again – covering a multitude of depths with each cast. Each line has a short, quick-loading head for minimizing the number of false casts, and a Hang Marker that shows anglers when to stop stripping.
The CleanSweep version features a 2m clear (intermediate) tip with a welded loop on the front end.

The Avid is the lowest priced RIO line, which is equipped with the AgentX and XS-Technology.
AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable.
This is a 12 ft Type 3 sink tp line with a shorter head configuration for positive loading turnover and accurate casts. The sink ratio is 3-4 ips (8-10 cm/s). The Mainstream Sink Tip is designed for fishing in depth ranges of 3-7 ft (0,9-2,2 m)

XS (Extreme Slickness)The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a generation of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance.
Connect CoreRIO’s ConnectCore full-sinking lines open up new worlds of perception and sensitivity with no-stretch performance. Soft, subtle takes become positive grabs, and without stretch to dull reaction times, hook sets are instant and sure. ConnectCore - The secret weapon for stillwater success.
Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.

A series of sinking tip lines specifically built for anglers that like a balanced casting rig. A unique, fatter body section eliminates the “kick” usually associated with casting sink tip lines; while the longer front tapers ensure the line does not dump on the forward cast. The supple floating body section allows anglers to easily mend and control the way the fly fishes, making it ideal for river anglers. Each line has a welded loop on the front end for easy rigging.
The lines are sold in "grain" weights, and we recommend the follwing conversion to appropiate rod sizes:150 grains -> 5wt200 grains -> 6wt250 grains -> 7wt300 grains -> 8wt350 grains -> 9wt400 grains -> 10wt
